having only flown ILS landings I was incredibly nervous for an RNAV. Just flew my first one and it was a piece of cake thanks to your video. Thank you so much! Happy landings!
Thank you so much for the extremely well explained procedure! I've never thought it's so complex. You've put a lot of time and effort into this, many thanks! Would be great to learn more about other Non precision approaches 👍
1. Very thorough, I was thinking of making a video about RNAV(RNP) but you really covered the most important stuff so well. 2. Good discussion of Required vs actual NAV performance. 3. Cold temp corrections: good info, most sim channels don’t cover this. Of course, as you say, in our sims, we probably don’t have to worry. As an X-Plane 11 user, I’m wondering if it’s even modeled….food for thought. And speaking of using Track/FPA, I’m pretty sure my company won’t let us. Sounds too much like a mistake in the making. But interesting to ponder. 4. It’s interesting to me that FENIX provided a manual toggle for LDEV & VDEV as well as FLS. I’m guessing it’s to make up for not having the proper coding in the Navigraph database to begin with. (?) 5. I was waiting for you to mention this and sure enough, you did, regarding that Final Descent Point. So words to impress upon the viewers: **Don’t select APPCH mode until that final descent point appears as the TO waypoint in the upper right corner of the ND** since it is not programmed to honor altitude constraints once it captures. 6. I agree that it may not seem efficient but the safety and security of being established on published segments especially at night is definitely the way to go! 7. Very nice refresher for me. Good to see some techniques from other airlines!
What is scary is that there are videos of real approaches where the crew selects Approach before the FAF is the TO way point. Does the real aircraft not have the toggle? I can't see how database coding would determine for you if you want to fly a VOR using FLS or TRK/FPA...?
@@AirbusAddict I think most aircraft are more set up like the Toliss A321Neo where you have an FLS/FINAL APP LSK in the PERF page of the MCDU on approach part so you could choose which to do unless doing an RNP (AR) approach. The Fenix toggle option seems to be based on aircraft that had the FLS only option. But these aircraft couldn’t do FINAL APP
@@AirbusAddict yes. From what I’ve been told some aircraft had FLS only to replace FINAL APP but then it became an option for the pilot to select between the 2 in later versions.
@320 Sim Pilot great delivery as always. I particular payed a lot of attention to the explanation of gps accuracy. I'm sure I read somewhere that the Fenix uses real data of actual gps satellites positions to determine the systems navigational accuracy within the sim.
As a total noob, with plenty of ILS landing success you have just answered my questions as to wny I kept coming in high at Katmandu. Probably not the best airport to try my first RNAV approaches ? LOL. Cheers mate, love ya vids , has helped me heaps...champion !!
Moorning guys. Just a important tip for those playing MSFS2020 on XBOX. If you're having problems with A320NEO not following GPS NAV, doing some unexpected turns when AP is engaged or even having the AP disengaged during your flight, I managed to solve it by connecting a mouse on XBOX (wired or wireless) and using the mouse for cursor mode. It seems like XBOX get confused if you use left stick for flight and cursor mode and after using the mouse for cursor mode and left stick exclusively for flight mode everything runs smooth... Best regards from Brazil to all of you!
I'd love to see a tutorial about go around, changes in plan and so on. I can, thanks you your tutorials ;) do many things when everything goes as planned, but i'm still afraid to go fly in vatsim, because i'm sure i won't be able to follow some orders, when i'll be forced to go around (ai traffic control also does it sometime btw) i'm not sure how to set up everything in the fcm. This topic also includes things like getting a shortcut from the controller and so on
We’re allowed (in OMA) to disregard (E)GPWS alerts only under the following conditions: The alert occurs during daylight VMC conditions, and when positive visual verification is made that no hazard exists, and the possibility of a ‘nuisance or false warning’ has been briefed (as identified) and notified on the chart, in airfield brief or by NOTAM. Not sure what our GNB brief says off hand. But I’d be inclined to disregard that GPWS you had. 👍
Thanks for this video. I have always relied on ILS and autoland because I suck at hand flying. But you made it seem pretty easy so I'm going to give this a try. :D
Dont worry about hand flying remember this is just a simulator, do a couple of traffic patterns with the a320 and without time you will be understanding how to make great landings
Hello. I have a small comment about your videos. when you show something on the EFB or the FMCU, zoom in a little further. Because when you view this on a laptop with a not too large screen, it is all difficult to distinguish !! It's a tip from me to you ;-)
this is one of those videos im going to be referring to time and time again. thanks for taking the time to produce it. Incidentally, on the reply looking out of the cabin window on TD my butt kicker rumbled and I actually got that same feeling as i do in real life... very weird.
Hey bro, can you make a series of video about the system including the fails, pushbutton operation, ecam related,…. For each system of the a320/1?. With this software it will be a nice reference for some trainee in type rating like us to have a realistic look inside. And also due to the old versions of docs, vids…flow around internet. I think the series will be a huge hit
I think you set the auto brakes off camera. I read you should always use medium auto brakes for RNAV. Is this accurate? Thanks. (edit: nevermind, auto brakes medium was for autoland.)
Great video man, question, can I do autoland with rnav? And if I do , I must turn off the ap as well? Always thought leave the ap on until you touchdown
@@320SimPilot Thanks man, appriciate it. why didn't you turned off the FDs ? do you have to do it only when you have LNAV only? and you dont get the 'final app' mode? Also in that case, you always should use the trk-fpa instead of just hitting the appr btn , right? I don't understand in which cases do you press the appr btn, and when you use trk-fpa
Amazing tuto as always. You are really a reference and I am learning so much about the Airbus thanks to you. One question, is it possible to get the same livery you are flying... it is amazing! Thanks and keep up the good work...
Thanks for the great tutorial! I always refer back to this. So, in the new A321 I was flying a RNAV/RNP approach into KPHX, I verified the MCDU data was entered correctly, 3.0 degree at the FAP, and then I saw Final APP on the FMA. My issue is the L/DEV and V/DEV "brick" is green instead of magenta. Is this normal or am I leaving out a step?
@22:10 you say 4500ft at LS401... However at DOPIM and LS401, it's at or above 4500ft, not "at". LS400 states "at" 4500 with "mandatory". This way you could still be at 5100ft (FL051) at LS401.
Thanks for yet another great video. I wonder if you could give a brief explanation of what the EGNOS reference on the chart refers to. I see this “Ch” ref often on RNAV approaches, but don’t know what significance it has to a pilot flying this procedure.
That only is useful if the aircraft can fly an SBAS approach so you can use LPV minimums which the Fenix can't. It uses satellites to correct for position errors so an incorrect altimeter setting would not affect the glidepath. The only one I've flown that can do this is the ToLiss A321Neo (may be others).
Hello, First of all, many thanks for all these so great tutorials! Wahoo. Clear, precise... Thank you. A question about minimas, and typicaly LNV/VNAV or LNAV. If I understand correctly, in this example, you fly a NPA, which is a RNAV (actually a RNP). * I thougth an RNP procedure commes with a "precision" like 3, 1, .3, .2, .1, etc. Wy this approche plate does not have this precision? As we fly this RNP approach with the Final App guidance of the A320, we have the necessary guidance to take LNV/VNAV minimas. * But, if we fly this approach with TRK/FPA, what's append regarding the minimas? * What about the LNAV minima? Is it in case of a failure which deasable the vertical guidance? * If I fly this NPA manually, even with TRK/FPA, wich minima do I have to take? Thank you! Alain, France
@@Herbuel not sure I can explain that much clearer. ILS and GLS approaches are classed as precision approaches, all other approaches are non-precision approaches
Very nice and useful video man! Appreciate it! I have a question, if I may ask. Is it possible to make a video for RNAV approach to runway 21 in LFRS using STAR MANA1D and transition LAROK. The chart is very interesting and not so easy to follow in case all restrictions are kept. Thank you in advance!
When it comes to RNAV videos and basic RNAV instructions there is too much assumed knowledge for me. Is there some earlier version like a proper beginners tutorial on the subject? With the ILS, I found it plain and easy to understand the principle and I'm using that all the time. However, I'm finding it extremely hard to get my head around the principle of RNAV and I just can't find walk through instructions where I can actually follow it step by step being reasonably confident of ending on the runway where I want to be and right way up.
Hey man! Ive tried flying two RNAV approaches right now, however, my V/DEV and L/DEV bars stays green and the plane is not descending further on the FAP. Does anyone knows why this is the case? Help is much appreciated!
hello, i am currently practising flying the A320 and seen nearly all of your videos and i have a question. (02:50)how do you have a tablet on your side in your cockpit, and how can i also get that?
Thanks and well explained - brilliant. ! I can see a Navigraph subscription really adds to the experience. I have avoided subscribing as I really need to be cost conscious in my later years. I must say I have noted a change over the years to Government Free AIP information and charts. It used to be so easy to download charts, now many more hurdles have been placed as many Governments move more firmly toward a user pays model. Indeed when I picked up my pilots licence in 2003 the changes were already underway. Former or then current older pilots, griping about the Annual, bi annual and monthly updates to manuals used to be free and done by the aviation agency. Then these costs were all dumped on the pilot. The cost of becoming a fully qualified Commercial pilot now days has ballooned enormously.
If you're a regular simmer , the cost of Navigraph over a year is pretty good compared to the hardware and add-ons.. I don't buy much scenery etc but for the Navigraph DB and charts across multiple sims..I wouldn't be without it now. They are always developing it too.
@@kneecaps2000 yeah I don't disagree at all, its just that another subscription is just adding to an already required and overloaded monthly outgoing.🙂
Hi. A strange problem. After setting everything up for a RNAV approach in the MCDU I always get an amber ILS warning in my PFD on final approach. It seems like the computer always expects/wants an ILS landing. No red/green brick visible. What do I do wrong?
does the airbus have a prediction arc on the ND when youre decending or climbing Like boeing does? I wonder how I can see where the airplane will be at on the flight path at my current speed & height when climbing or decending
No you get a blue arrow to show where the top of climb or descent is. The green arc you may see in heading mode is an energy arc. Basically if you lost both engines how far you could make it with current speed and altitude
I have a question about the reversion to HDG V/S above the threshold: is the FLARE mode still active underneath it? I guess it must be, otherwise it would be hard to flare the plane and land correctly, but it seems weird to me, that the HDG V/S overrule the FLARE, at least on what is shown on the FMA. Thank you for the reply in advance, you have amazing videos and style of explaining things clearly and concisely, truly thank you for that, keep it coming :)
Are you referring to flare mode on the PFD moving the FD's or flare mode as part of the fly by wire system. The flight directors don't move to show flare position as they're in HDG V/S mode but the aircraft will still enter flare mode as its based on the radio altimeters when to enter. Same as if the FD's were switched off
@@tomstravels520 Yeah I mean the Flare mode which continuously lowers the nose during the 8 seconds. So I guess this is one of the few moments, where you deliberately ignore FD orders even tho they're on, right?
@@Pejvl737 I still turn off the FD's in FINAL APP mode but sometimes keep on if using FLS as it still displays the FLARE and ROLLOUT modes. You just have to be certain you're lined up correctly as its not as accurate as ILS
Love your videos ! What's your replay addon ? I'm really interested ! I use Flight Tecorder but I find it sketchy and it doesn't record my flaps settings...

Hey 320 Sim Pilot, what do you use for capturing your replays in different camera angles?
What do u use for replays?
I have a question about the reversion to HDG V/S above the threshold: is the FLARE mode still active underneath it? I guess it must be, otherwise it would be hard to flare the plane and land correctly, but it seems weird to me, that the HDG V/S overrule the FLARE, at least on what is shown on the FMA. Thank you for the reply in advance, you have amazing videos and style of explaining things clearly and concisely, truly thank you for that, keep it coming :)
Are you referring to flare mode on the PFD moving the FD's or flare mode as part of the fly by wire system. The flight directors don't move to show flare position as they're in HDG V/S mode but the aircraft will still enter flare mode as its based on the radio altimeters when to enter. Same as if the FD's were switched off
@@tomstravels520 Yeah I mean the Flare mode which continuously lowers the nose during the 8 seconds. So I guess this is one of the few moments, where you deliberately ignore FD orders even tho they're on, right?
@@Pejvl737 I still turn off the FD's in FINAL APP mode but sometimes keep on if using FLS as it still displays the FLARE and ROLLOUT modes. You just have to be certain you're lined up correctly as its not as accurate as ILS
do you know where i can find a good and realistic checklist for the a320???
Love your videos ! What's your replay addon ? I'm really interested ! I use Flight Tecorder but I find it sketchy and it doesn't record my flaps settings...
Hello, on flying an rnav, would there be any reason why the aircraft would violate a windowed altitude constraint? thanks
If you’re in FINAL APP mode then the altitude in the window would be ignored. Once FINAL APP is engaged then you set missed approach altitude
